Why do people always nourish their first time?
The day they met someone, the first time they kiss, the first time they have sex..
Even when people are born, their first day is celebrated every year.

Tell me, what do you think is so special about a first time?
Is the first time a special happening that needs to be celebrated in your opinion?

It's very special. It's a new experience, and hopefully it's good.
With every new thing that happens to me, I feel a little more alive, filled.
So I do feel it should be celebrated.

Usually because it's the first of something new. The first happy experiance. The first sad experience. The first time something important, semi-important, has ever happened.

The first job you ever had? The first kiss? The first 'time'? The first whatever. People generally remember these kinds of things because it's something special to them.

It takes a certain amount of bravery to do things for the first time, even if you're not consciously thinking about it. When you get worked up over something, it tends to stick.

The first time for anything is something that stands out, thus, it's more easily remembered. Sort of like a flash memory, it's new so it imprints more heavily than later experiences.

Well, you know how people say first impressions are very important or the only time it matters? In my head it's the same way when it comes to doing something for the first time. Of course I can't remember my first steps or first words but I remember the day I road my first roller coaster, what theme park it was, what year and month it was, and it was fun. I remember the first time my car broke down and I had to call my mom to come help me.
The first time tends to be more memorable because after that the second or third time don't seem to own up to the first experience. Although certain birthdays tend to be more memorable than some so in other cases the first time isn't exactly as important or meaningful.

It's simply because it's the first and it will never be the same for the second the third etc.

I like to think that
I've accomplished
something when
I do something for
the first time.

First times only
ever happen
once.

Your first signifies entering a new stage. I guess it could be seen as an accomplishment; you actually did it!

I don't think these things need to be celebrated and, honestly, the only 'first' thing I celebrate is the day I was born. I don't celebrate anniversaries, first kisses, or anything of that sort. In fact, I can't even remember when my first kiss was. =/ I suppose I felt pretty good the first time I got to drive a car, and then again the first time I got to drive alone, but it was nothing that I actually celebrated over. It was more like my mom celebrating because she didn't have to take me everywhere any more. :XD

I don't know its just the first of thing and you will always remember it no matter what. Even its a bad thing or good thing it's something you can't forget. The birthday should really the main important thing to celebrate, but then comes a special someoens birthday, or your future partner, your first kiss, hug, first time, wedding, child, anything really and for some reason soem people if not all feel the need to celebrate all those firsts.

But some people are silly, funny silly, because they celebrate silly thigns like the first time they saw eachother, or wear that thing they wore that first time they met or something like that.

It's sweet on going to the place where you first kiss or where you got married and see it and such because it's brings back those good feelings that make you all jumpy inside. I don't know, their just good to celebrate and remember and such since it's the first of anything.

And not just those like families that make a big deal about the first child in the family on both sides, I know mine did with me, since I'm the first on both sides and was the only girl for a good fourteen years.

I guess, the first time someone does something is always the most memorable, the most special because it's the first time they do it, the new experience of something before it gets 'normal' and 'the usual'.

It's usually becuase it's something new Everytime you experienc it.
And you don't know what to expect.
and your excited.

Erhm, never had a first kiss, or first sex :XP kekeke, but I reckon those ought to be special, the first time they're had. I mean, why not? I don't think deep down, anyone wants a terrible "first", if they can help it. Now sex, that should be special, not ... sleep with a whole bunch of people special, but - "oh my goodness I want to love [him/her] forever". And the same goes for a kiss! :illgetu: If you're going to share spit, you might as well be committed so that it's true. :yes:

Birthday... mm I'm not too keen on my own. I really hate it when people make a big deal over mine, I'm a year older, I fail to see the joy in that :D and what, once every six or seven years I think, my birthday actually falls on the Thursday I was originally born on. So, jipee let's have a cow. Ironically, I don't mind making a fuss over someone else's. However, I can only see the point of it with someone older. Making 80 years old, is something to celebrate to me. My great-grandmother made 105, and her funeral day, was her 106th birthday. That's a joy, even in death, I'd say.
